# Welcome to the Field Course of Climatology and Environmental Hydrology

The following learning materials are part of the lecture Field Course of
Climatology and Environmental Hydrology and are intended to
deepen the learned contents and to apply them to real-world cases. The
materials consist of exercises as well as a variety of examples. The materials
assume a basic knowledge of Python and the use of the Jupyter environment. 

{Download}`Here <https://box.hu-berlin.de/f/0103b304de584bc7bc2b/>` you will find the
organisational information about the course.
